Wallet not updated need help

[kerreck]

It has been a while since ive messed with my wallet at all. i went to update the LTC wallet and my HD was too full. so i just DL'd it on another pc and moved the 'wallet.dat' file over to the new wallet program. it has updated and ive transfered the wallet.dat file over. but shit aint happenin. am i just fucked or what?

Find the data directory and put the wallet.dat file in there. Use this for reference: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Data_directory. It should be the same as Bitcoin's but instead of the directory being named Bitcoin, it will be named Litecoin.

BTW, this belongs in altcoins. I will report it.

i understand, and i put the .dat file in the correct spot. the problem is when i run the wallet program it is constantly at 0.0000000000 coins. should i expect them to show up in a few moments? whats realistic?

Is it fully synched?

[kerreck]

it is fully sync'd.

[shorena]

it is fully sync'd.

From what I see you either have the wrong wallet.dat (or the correct one is in the wrong spot) or you dont have any LTC. If you see no transaction history its probably the wrong wallet.dat.

Have you attempted reindexing the wallet yet? You need to go to the debug window and type -rescan -reindex

The link below explains how using -rescan -reindex fixed a bitcoin wallet, but it works for litecoin too. Your wallet might need those commands to force it to rebuild its database using the blockchain it already downloaded.
